Getting Started with SYS/BIOS with OMAP-L138

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Can someone point me to instructions to create a simple SYS/BIOS application for the C674x core on an OMAP-L138 in CCSv6.1? Something as basic as a "Hello World" application is sufficient.

I downloaded and installed bios_6_45_00_20.

I worked with a C5505 DSP and CCSv5.5 in the past. I could create a new "Hello World" DSP/BIOS project in CCSv5.5 quite easily. I have not figured out how to do something like this in CCSv6.1 for the OMAP-L138.

  • Hi Patrick,

    Once SYS/BIOS has been discovered by CCS (this occurs if you install BIOS in the default directory of c:\ti and start CCS), you can open View->Resource Explorer in CCS. Navigate to the desired device and select one of the kernel examples.

  • I found the material for the TI-RTOS Workshop to be helpful.
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Introduction_to_the_TI-RTOS_Kernel_Workshop

    In particular, the installation setup guide provides step by step instructions for establishing a working environment.
    static1.squarespace.com/.../MA_TIRTOS_Workshop_Installation_Guide_Rev1.0.pdf

    It was not immediately obvious to me that I needed to download and install TI_RTOS v2.00.01.23 for C6000 (tirtos_c6000_2_00_01_23) instead of the latest SYS/BIOS (bios_6_45_00_20).

    It is very helpful that the installation setup guide lists the tool versions used in the workshop:
    As of October 2015, the workshop was upgraded to use the following versions of tools:
     CCSv6.1.1.00022
     ...
     C6000 – TI-RTOS ver 2.00.01.23
  • Hi Patrick,

    We are in a little bit of a packaging pickle in regards to the kernel for C6000 devices. Please note that the TI-RTOS kernel is simply SYS/BIOS renamed...the content is same, just the "branding" name. We currently have multiple ways to delivery the kernel for the C6000
    - SYS/BIOS download
    - TI-RTOS for C6000
    - Within device specific SDKs

    The SYS/BIOS download page has the most current versions of the kernel. We are trying to figure out what to do with the TI-RTOS for C6000. We have not made a new rev for awhile because the Device SDKs have been picking up the newer versions of the kernel directly and not via TI-RTOS for C6000.

    We hope to resolve the confusion soon (e.g. this year) and make if more clear where to get the kernel. Again, the content will be the same, it just the packaging.
